Saw this chart (love a chart) which really highlights the impact of the virus and hammers home the message against the ‘its just flu’ brigade
Plots weekly deaths in the uk over the last 10 years. You can probably spot 2020

Or pigs-swine flu.
Or chickens -bird flu.
TB in cows in the uk.
Humans seriously need to change the way we treat animals. We cause all this shit by our actions.
I would add the practice of including dead, often diseased cattle in animal feed for cattle. This has changed now but only initially after a 6 month cover-up by our Government which it followed up by a period of unbalanced claims over the underlying "science". |

That is a good chart. Two questions: why do deaths systematically drop every year in weeks 22, 35 and 52 (which also seems to indicate a sharp rise in week 1 of the following year)? And why do the patterns converge each year after the first few weeks? I can’t think of any plausible reasons. |

Probably Bank Holidays around the end of May and August, plus Christmas day / Boxing day bank holidays. More to do with registering, than people actually not dying then. Each time there is a up-lift immediately after before then returning to normal. The Easter bank holiday can be anywhere between weeks 13 (late March) and 17 (mid-late April), and there and falls (and rises) around there each year. I love a graph, me.  |

Interesting to see there is a suggestion, after retesting samples, that it was in France back end of December.

A 'happy' poster reporting that there were zero new cases of Thais being infected today. The smaller text says that there were 18 new cases - but they were foreigners.  |

Good thought about public holidays, though it's slightly odd the pattern is so predictable when as you say, Easter holiday dates vary considerably. But yes, I think you must be on the right track. |

Bank Holidays, so less commuting so fewer deaths on the roads EDIT: just seen michael beat me to it. But ref Easter, that moves around as he says, these are fixed ones - Whitsun, August Bank Holiday and Christmas |

Some fucking idiots still ignoring guidelines on social distancing Fuck me is this the depths we are no plummeting to have a pop? This is all getting beyond ridiculous, there is just criticism for the sake of criticism now. That prick Chris Hope from the Telegraph asking during yesterday’s press conference whether the Nightingale Hospital in London was a waste of money being a case in point, absolutely pathetic! |

No staff. Rumour has it they're going to be renamed Potemkin Hospitals. |

I only heard it in passing, but it was suggested somewhere yesterday (would have been radio but no idea what station) that if any hospital or care home referred a patient to Nightingale, they basically had to send staff with the patient to care for them. It does seem to have been all rather for show as without the staff to run the place it was a bit of a white elephant? https://twitter.com/mikegalsworthy/status/1256898073328041984?s=20 |
